VideoSupport.exe CPU Miner

Posted: March 7, 2018

The VideoSupport.exe CPU Miner is a mining utility, which might be running on the computers of users without their approval. The purpose of this software is to utilize the victim's CPU to mine for various cryptocurrencies, Monero especially. While this activity is not an imminent threat to the victim's security and data, it might shorten the lifespan of their CPUs, and also cause the computer to perform poorly. By using the available CPU resources constantly, the VideoSupport.exe CPU Miner might prevent users from running resource-intensive games and computer software successfully. In addition to this, the prolonged usage of the CPU might increase its operating temperature, therefore shortening its lifespan.

Since cryptocurrencies have attracted the attention of lots of cybercrooks, there are many Trojan miners being spread online currently. Some of the process names we've identified to be potentially related to CPU miners are:
